I thought I posted this one. I had it ready to go and added it to my spider presentation. I love getting closeup portraits of wolf spiders. This spider was right outside my front door and was pretty cooperative.
His keen sense of hearing picked up something near the spot where the pack's litter of 11 puppies was resting. So this adult male Painted Wolf (aka African Wild Dog) (Lycaon pictus) got up to check it out. When they are hunting the dogs' ears go back they get their bodies even lower to the ground. Seems like here the focus was on detection, so the ears were up.
One of 3 in a pack with 2-3 pups in the Jao district of the Okavango Delta. He/she had just returned to the den in the late afternoon and one deduces from the clean muzzle that no kill had been made recently. The food situation was however taken care on the next day.
With just a vestage of the pen umbra eclipse still visible on the lower right face, the decade's first full moon sits in a clear sky over Sussex tonight.
A couple of gray wolves pose nicely for me.
Wish I could say I snuck up on them and got this shot at 122mm. Instead I enjoyed some quality time with several wolves at West Yellowstone's Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center. This was my favorite pair. A stop here is highly recommended if you're ever in West Yellowstone.
Enjoy a wonderful weekend!

FYI. These moon shots were hand held while I was at Highfields Park, Nottingham.
The first Supermoon of 2026. It's known as the Wolf Moon in the Northern Hemisphere because it marks the time of year when it was believed that wolves howled more, as there was less food around. However, it is also sometimes referred to as the Old Moon or Ice Moon
On Friday, 02 January 2026 the Moon was in its Waxing Gibbous phase, with 98.8% of the visible lunar disk illuminated by the Sun. It was 13.74 days in its 29.5 days phases cycle.
Waxing Gibbous, 99% / 0.54, Gemini
Moonrise: 14:26 Moonset: 07:46
The Waxing Gibbous phase shows more than half of the lunar surface illuminated. The terminator, currently at lunar longitude 282.5°, is receding westward across the lunar disk. Features located near the terminator provide high-contrast views due to the elongated shadows they produce.
The Moon in Gemini.
Moon in Gemini manifests itself by the need for changes and spontaneity. Safety lies in thinking about your feelings and sharing them with others. You can be more talkative and speak with ease these days. You might have a better ability to keep a cool head, but beware, cold heart can discourage others. Harmony of thinking and feeling is important.
Organs influenced by the Gemini Moon Sign:
Shoulders, arms, hands, respiratory system, bronchial tubes, lungs, nervous connections for Sensor and motor skills, blood capillaries.
Surgical operations are not recommended during the Waxing Moon.

Wolf-dog hybrid (hybrid for short) is a term used to identify the offspring that resulted from the mating between a wolf and a domestic dog. Some may use the term wolf-dog hybrid and wolfdog interchangeably, but there is an important distinction between the two. Wolfdogs are not always hybrids, and it is often used to describe a domestic dog with a relatively recent wolf ancestry.
Dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and wolves (Canis lupus) share an evolutionary past and thus display similar physical and behavioral traits. These two species are interfertile, meaning that they can interbreed and produce viable offspring. In other words, wolves can breed with dogs, and their offspring can produce offspring themselves. Although hybridization can occur naturally in the wild, these events are relatively rare because the territorial nature of wolves leads them to protect their home ranges from intruding canines such as dogs, coyotes and other wolves.
Despite their shared ancestry and ability to interbreed, these two species are very different. Wolves are wild animals, and they are shaped by evolutionary pressures that allow them to find food, keep themselves safe, and produce offspring. The genetics that they express in the environments that they live in allow them to survive, without the help of humans.
Domestication is the process by which a wild animal adapts to living with humans by being selectively bred by humans over thousands of years. Dogs evolved from a common ancestor with the wolf through a centuries-long process of domestication.
Through this process, a dog’s behavior, life cycle and physiology have become permanently altered from that of a wolf. In essence, the selective breeding process has put a different set of pressures on dogs, shaping them so that they are more dependent on humans for their survival and make them flexible to our way of living. The genes they express, have been altered to varying degrees from their wild counterpart and help them live that domestic life well.
Governed by their instincts, wolves, both in the wild and in captivity, exhibit behavior that is relatively consistent. Their behavioral characteristics have been studied and observed for many decades by researchers, and much has been published about their social dynamics, hunting behavior and territorial nature. Thanks to the researchers’ hard work, we can understand the wolf’s reactions to different situations based on their inherent instincts. However, just as with any wild animal, their behavior will always retain some unpredictability.
Have made a special bond with this beautiful girl.. She and her brother Denali are at a small zoo at Como Park here in St. Paul Mn.
They were born on April 5, 2003 so they both are pretty old now..
Shyanne ( spelled with an S because they said she is shy)..
Shyanne will come up to the fence if she sees me or hears me call her and walk back and forth rubbing her body against the fence.. She and her brother sleep a lot , but heck, they are in their 90's in human years! ; )
I have to have another surgery on May 3, hope to back on Flickr more often then,, Hope everyone is doing well! ; )
I posted a few of her photos...
Thanks to everyone for your visits and wonderful comments ; )
Wolf Spider Focus Stack - Trying something new today. I got a chance to test out the built in focus stacking on the Canon R5II on this (dead) Wolf Spider that my daughter found in our driveway. Pretty good results for first attempt but will definitely take some practice.
The Branch Line Society’s Wolf Hall Thunderer Rail Tour certainly drew the attention of quite a few Rail Enthusiasts to Waterloo Station on the evening of the 11th of February 2023. And why not, with two classic diesel locomotives on offer.
Here 50008 Thunderer is seen departing platform 18 with the final leg of the Wolf Hall Thunderer Rail tour, making up the 18:37 1Z54 leg to Derby.
37403 was the other locomotive on the rear.
The White Spirit Wolf
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The spirit wolf appears in many North American native lore and spirituality. This build was a challenge to learn a new type of technique using Mixel ball joints to mesh wedge plates together into a sculptural bust. Many sculpters make marble busts, for me this was the LEGO equivalent to make an art sculpture.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I learned the build method from Brick Science on YouTube. www.youtube.com/channel/UCpQB577lHFyWTyvrS73Ldlg
Riley is a TFOL who lives about an hour south in Colorado, and over a video call he was able to show me some of his models and reinforcement methods.
